– Monika Holzer Kernbichler’s press release states that the open-mouthed lemur’s head was used as a rubbish bin at
Documenta IX, resulting in a stench emanating from the ‘mouth’ of the work. ‘bei der Documenta IX in Kassel 1992, wo er
sie, als Müllschlucker eingesetzt, auch aus dem Mund stinken ließ.’ (Franz West, Ein ABC, Universalmuseum Joanneum, 2010). This information was confirmed by Jan Hoet.

Notes – Photo taken on 9.6.1977 during the opening of the exhibition
“Marcel Broodthaers, André Beullens, Amedée Cortier”, 10.6– 24.7.1977.
– Jan Hoet explained (29.10.2013) that during the opening of
“Marcel Broodthaers, André Beullens, Amedée Cortier” he had installed the plinth in the museum especially for Cadere.
In addition, Cadere also exhibited a work in the office of the former museum director Jan Hoet. (9–25.7.1977).

9 June–25 July, Cadere made an invited appearance with his work at the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst Ghent. Cadere signed the book of honour at the museum. ‘From the point of view of my work, any place in the museum can be used. In exhibiting in the curator’s office, I confronted him with the reality of his function, which, like the name says, is to guard the works of art which are confined to him. It was also interesting to open up to the public, for a short time, an office space which is usually not accessible. I proposed this exhibition one year previously, but at the time it was refused… During the exhibition the curator (Jan Hoet) exhibited and explained my work to the public; this work had been relocated many times on one of the three tables, according to necessity, by the curator or one of his assistants.’ Herbert-Gewad document 49. Translation Chris Dercon Archive. Working with Cadere may have influenced Hoet’s exhibition, “Chambre d’Amis” (Friends Rooms) Ghent 1986 which led to his curation of Documenta 9, Kassel 1992.

Since 1972, every catalogue or group exhibition that the artist has participated in has featured the line “At the request of the artist there are no photos or bio-bibliographical data” or “At the artist’s request, his birth date is excluded here, and the works are not reproduced”
In 1961, when Brouwn asked random passers-by for directions, and to explain these via a sketch, he was inviting them to move within their imaginations. From 1971, he measured and portrayed distances using his own steps, which he always linked to the metric system of measurement. Pre-senting those distances via card systems, books or portfolios of drawings, and later by also literally shaping them in paper, polyester or wood, he created a concrete awareness of time, space and movement. In 2001, Stanley Brouwn made an exhibition at S.M.A.K. In a number of otherwise empty galleries, he affixed just one label per space, stating for example: In the middle of this room, there is an imaginary cube, measuring 1,000 ✕ 1,000 ✕ 1,000mm’.

In 1990 haben wir eine gemeinsame Ausstellung im Kunstverein horn – ich habe dafür eine Auswahl Sockel meiner Skulpturen zusammengestellt. Franzens Sitze sollten ursprünglich ohne Sockel sein – wie bisher – doch für diese Ausstellung hat franz überlegt doch Sockel zu wollen – ich war aber nicht so begeistert – hab dann aber doch für ihn die Proportionen der Sockel bestimmt. er wollte, dass sich die Betrachter etwas erhoben fühlen durch die Sockel. es war nicht klar ob das nun grundsätzlich so weitergeht und obwohl ich mich um die Dimensionen gekümmert hab, haben wir das nicht so sehr als die neue grosse Kollaboration gesehen – mal so ein versuch. die Ausstellung war dann noch in der Stadt Galerie prag zu sehen. danach hat er das dann eher nicht fortgesetzt – vielleicht so mal so – da weiss ich nicht so bescheid. (email Heimo Zobernig – Moritz Küng, November 2013)
* Heimo Zobernig’s original plinth was reconstructed on the occasion of ‘Museum for a Small City – Case 1: Art, Display & Confusions’, a conversation between Moritz Küng and Heimo Zobernig (3 November 2013).

An exact replica of the Royal Salon at La Monnaie in Brussels was built for the exhibition ‘Charles Vandenhove’ (07.06.1986 – 24.08.1986) at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam. That same year, the life-size model was purchased by the Museum of Contemporary Art, Ghent. A press release dated 4 December 1986 reads: ‘The “Salon Royale” is a magnificent construction by three artists who have each left their individual mark yet managed to create a harmonious whole.’ (S.M.A.K. archive). The status and future destination of this work is dubious; the museum and the artists involved are questioning the authenticity of the artworks within this replica.

Performance Ula Sickle
Title “The Host: An Incomplete History of Performance at S.M.A.K.”
Notes
This new production ‘The Host: An Incomplete History of Performance at S.M.A.K.’ takes the form of a subjective guided tour through the history of Performance Art in S.M.A.K. The artist conducted her research through an oral history, setting up a series of conversations with the museum staff. Tracing as it were the museum’s embodied archive, the attention shifts away from the visual to expe-rience, memory and context. The performance marks the first instance of the re-activation of Richard Venlet’s artwork ‘Museum for a Small City’ entitled ‘Rebuild’, that partly functions as a display of the S.M.A.K. collection. It ultimately comprehends the current immateriality of the re-activation on an institutional level, namely as the modest attention for Performance and Live Art in public collections.
